S/N, EVM, and Pilot Amplitude Error
This section provides a brief overview of the Signal-to-Noise, Error Vector
Measurement, and Pilot Amplitude Measurement window. For more in-depth
information, refer to the online help.
The S/N, EVM, and Pilot Amplitude Error measurement window provides an
overview of the transmitter’s 8VSB signal quality. Signal-to-Noise (S/N), Error
Vector Magnitude (EVM), and Complex Modulation Error Ratio (MER) are
similar measurements. The calculations for each are slight deviations from each
other. Refer to S/N, EVM, and Complex MER calculations in the online help.
Figure 3--3 shows the measurement window with the constellation display. The
window contains the following areas:
H
A listing of measurement results.
H
Two display graphics: constellation and eye diagram.
H
A control for turning equalization on and off. Equalization removes linear
distortions from the measurements. This allows you to distinguish among
causes of poor signal quality.
H
A control for subtracting the pilot amplitude from the horizontal axis.

The S/N measurement provides a broad measure of impairments in the trans-
mitted signal. S/N is the power ratio between the ideal received signal and the
difference between the ideal and actual received signal as measured along the
real axis during symbol times only. A comparison is made between the deviation
S/N
